The soul is a breath of living spirit, that with excellent sensitivity, permeates the entire body to give it life. Just so, the breath of the air makes the earth fruitful. Thus the air is the soul of the earth, moistening it, greening it.

We cannot live in a world that is not our own, in a world that is interpreted for us by others. An interpreted world is not a home. Part of the terror is to take back our own listening, to use our own voice, to see our own light.

God has arranged everything in the universe in consideration of everything else.

Humanity finds itself in the midst of the world. In the midst of all other creatures humanity is the most significant and yet the most dependent upon the others.

The truly holy person welcomes all that is earthly.

It is easier to gaze into the sun, than into the face of the mystery of God. Such is its beauty and its radiance.

When the words come, they are merely empty shells without the music. They live as they are sung, for the words are the body and the music the spirit.
